Yesterday at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin the Supreme Grand Champion was a Jersey cow TJ Classic Minister Venus. All registered purebred cows have a individual name. Some of our cows are registered purebred but we have a grade dairy which means we dont focus on pedigree but functionality. Most of our cows have a father (sire) which is a registered bull based on artificial insemination. We do breed some heifers with a bull but thats a very small percentage. To improve our genetics, we try to breed all our animals by AI. At the Expo they take the champion cows in all the different breeds and then select one of the cows as the Supreme Grand Champion. Ive never attended and never been to Wisconsin but the World Dairy Expo is the international Super Bowl of the dairy industry.
